The problem I have with folks who claim Obama lost is that you are pointing out how much Romney was dishonest, flip flopping, and clearly BSing as if this info is exclusive to you

If the case was that Romney is dishonest, then Obama won. The voter has their own responsibility in the political process, by being informed and acting accordingly in their rational on that information

Example, there's no need to repeat the 47% comment made by Romney, if the voter was being responsible with the information they already know
:skip: Let me know where this utopia exist

:heh: at Obama being up 6 touchdowns, more like 17 points and Romney just cut it to a two score game.

every fact-checker I've browsed through states that both candidates were equally full of shyt throughout the debate.

so he was up 3 touchdowns?
or it was 17 -0 and romney just kicked a field goal? I could see that too.
In fact that makes more sense. I'm under no fault assumption that the election is a lock. A lot can change very quickly and if the other 2 debates go like this then yeah it'll be close.

He was up 17-0 and Romney finally punched one in the end zone 17-7 with 10 minutes let in the 4th. Obama needs some first downs between now and the next debate.

Which is 45 minutes in football time.

yeah i can see that. and YES he needs to run some time off the clock while not going into prevent D to early, all that will do is prevent him from winning.

Obama wasn't bothered. Let the media talk they need a close race for ratings. Obezzy got this:

This is CHESS, not CHECKERS. Obama let Romney go all out and put all his cards on Deck. People will now see this was more strategy than anything. Obama didn't need to show his hand and dig the dagger in like Chris and Ed wanted cause Obama knows he's winning now, Romney was the one behind. Why should Obama go all out in Debate 1 so Romney could adjust in the next two debates. Romney has had nothing but bad news for a Month and half. He will get 1 news cycle.

You guys should stop with these checkers/chess rationalization. Please show one example of that.

These debates cover certain topics, these topics will not be discussed again between the two candidates face to face in depth again so why would he not need to show his hand?

What you are saying makes zero sense. When you have someone down you don't chill on a lead, you build on it :ld:

THANK YOU. Obama should have went out and smoked him.

Economy is THE issue, debate is the main stage and dudes are crazy for thinking "obama let this one go cuz he's playin chess"

The fukk?? Truth is I think he wasn't prepared physically or mentally. Lost his footing early on and couldn't recover. Barry had a very strange submissive vibe yesterday, like he knew he lost out the gate.

That said, if he comes out swinging on the next couple debates he should be alright.

The problem is that Obama was on the defensive most of the night.

Instead of attacking Romney's policies and calling him out on BS, he spent most of the time just defending his record. Not to mention, as many black professionals are taught to do, Obama is scared of coming off as an "angry black man" so he has go out of his way to be calm and collected. Romney, being a white guy, doesn't have to worry about this so he can be more animated and enthusiastic (for him, anyway).

I think people are ignoring the fact that Obama did try to call him on his BS a few times

Romney was just out there doing the "Gish Gallop"

The next debate will be a Townhall meeting on Domestic and Foreign Policy. All these topics will be discussed again. And in a townhall format, Romney will not be able to escape and gloss over the tough questions. The fact is he damn near went against his entire platform again Romney laid his cards on the table he's already being dissected.
